Souled American Resurfaces and Midbrow Is There

Midbrow has a review of Souled American’s recent show in Philadelphia. “The music wasn’t merely laconic: this was slowcore country at its most desolate, with the humming energy of wide-open spaces so quiet and empty in their vastness that even in the daylight you think of the surface of the moon. When Joe Adducci would switch to fretless bass the songs got even queasier, his cello-like sliding, quirky intonation and belch-y tone meeting the lazy strumming of Chris Grigoroff’s acoustic and the clean sheen of Brian Smith’s Daniel Lanois-esque wanderings. You’d think of barrooms long after closing time.” Read more here and be sure to check out Sanctions, the band’s new album out now via Jealous Butcher.
